Question

Which of the following is true about sports and the media?

Answer 1

C. Women’s photographs often focus on their attractiveness

This is the only statement that is true about sports and the media from the list of options. Females do not receive more airtime than males when it comes to sports. Now with streaming option like ESPN3, more women's sports are easily accessible, but they still do not even receive equal airtime on the major stations. There is no way that they receive more airtime. Option B is also wrong. Minority athletes are often praised more for their physical attributes than their thinking abilities while white athletes are praised more for their intelligence. Option D is also false. Sports do not receive equal treatment on sports stations. The NFL brings in the most money so it receives the most airtime and priority treatment. Sports like swimming, diving, lacrosse, and skiing receive very little airtime or attention.
